48、[SI]

标准答案：C

知识点词析：本句意思是：谁如果想谋得一份差事。C项gening（获得）适合。

49、[S2]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：本句意为：快速阅读与理解的能力，是关系到成败的关键所在。只有

quickly与原意吻合。

50、[S3]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：此处的意志是：大多数人早期养成看书慢的习惯。因此选habits（习

惯）。

51、[S4]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：此句意为：在阅读时经常重读（反复读）。因此，选reread重读。

52、[S5]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：此句意为：训练快速阅读所使用的工具必然与提高阅读速度有关，因

此选accelerator（快读器）。

53、[S6]

标准答案：O

知识点解析：此句意为：快速-阅读器迫使你加快阅读速度，使你再也不能逐字阅

读，回顾前文内容或者默读。只有making（使，使得）最合适。

54、[S7]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：这里的意志是：速读最初会影响理解，所以选comprehension（理解

力）。

55、[S8]

知识点解析：take与后面的forinsiance构成短语，意为“以…例”，其它三项不能构

成搭配。

56、[S9]

57、[S10]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：此处意为：在较短时间内，读完众多的材料。只有getthrough（读完）

最恰当。

十、阅读（常规阅读理解）（本题共70题，每题7.0

分，共70分。）

Onewayofpreventingfloodsmaybebymakingrain!Thismaysoundratherstrange.As

58、Accordingtothispassage,onewayofpreventingfloodsis.

A、tomaketherainfallintheseabeforeitreachesthecoast

B、tomaketherainclouds

C、tocausemonsooninthesea

D、tobringheavyrain

标准答案：A

知识点解析：由原文第一段可知，防止水灾的一个办法就是实施人工降雨，让雨水

降落在大海里。

59、Whatdoes"it"of"sincewater-vaporbecomeswaterwhenitcools"inPara.3.refer

to?

A、Water-vapor.

B>Cloud.

C^Water.

D、Air.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：要弄清楚该句中的指代关系，就必须正确理解文章第三段的内容-

雨是如何形成的。云是由含有水蒸气的空气形成的。空气不断上升、冷却，水蒸气

变成小水滴。当水滴越变越大，再也无法飘浮在空中时就变成了雨。由此可知句中

的it指的是空气。

60、1'hcthirdparagraphisconcernedwith.

A、howcloudsriseintheair

howrainisformed

C、whywatcr-vaporcanfloatintheair

D、howcloudscauserain

标准答案：B

知识点解析：要找出该题的答案关键在于分析第三段的篇章结构。不同于常见的段

落，该段的主题句Thisisthecauseofrain位于段末。抓住了这句话就明白了该段的

中心内容。

61、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTTRUE?

A、Itislikelytocauseallcloudstogiveupalltheirrain.

B、Thefrequencyofrainfallcouldbecutdown,andsocouldtheamountofrainfall.

C、InMalaysia,themonsoonoftenresultsinfloods.

D、Ifpeoplefoundwaysofreducingtheamountofrainfall,therewouldbelessflood

damage.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：从原文第二段可知A项与原文不符。B、C、D三项所述内容分别可

在原文的第一段和第二段中找到。

62、Itcanbeinferredfromthispassagethat.

A、therainiscausedbywater-vapor

B、thehighertheairrises,thehigherthetemperatureis

C、thehighertheairrises,thelowerthetemperatureis

D、thecloudsrise,andthewaterdropsbecomesmaller

标准答案：C

知识点解析：原文第三段表明：随着空气不断上升，水蒸气变成了小水滴；水蒸气

遇冷才会变成水。这就告诉我们空气上升得越高，温度就越低。A、B、D三项都

不符合第三段的描述。

Theworld'sexplodingpopulationsignalsevenmoregrowingpainsaheadforalready

63、Inthelastparagraph,theword"escalate"means.

A、decrease

B、increase

C、godown

D、decline

标准答案：B

知识点解析：通过对上下文所提供的数据进行比较，我们可以知道escalate是“增

加'’的意思，所以应选B。其余三个选项都表示“下降”的意思，是一组近义词。

64、Itisexpectedthattheworld'spopulationwillreachbytheendofthe

century.

A、2billionpeople

B、4.4billionpeople

C、80percentofallpeople

D、6.4billionpeople

标准答案：D

知识点解析：文章第一段的第2句告诉我们，联合国的一项新研究预测，到2000

年世界人口将在44亿的基础上再增加20亿，达到64亿，因此正确答案为D。

65、Inthesecondparagraph,theauthortalksabout.

A、conclusionsreachedbytheU.N.study

B>RafaelM.Salas'spersonalopinionsaboutthefuture

C>therateofpopulationgrowth

D、afloodofmigrationfromruralareas

标准答案：A、

知识点解析：文章的第二段主要谈论联合国组织的一项研究的结果，即发展中国家

和不发达国家的人口将占世界人口的80%；第三世界国家的大城市将成为贫困人

口聚集的中心；日益膨胀的人口将给社会带来众多不安定因素。因此A项为正确

答案。

66、Thethirdparagraphimpliesthat.

A^peopleshouldbeencouragedtoliveintheurbancenters

governmentshouldencouragepeopletoliveintheruralareas

C、peoplehavemoreadvantagesinthecountryside

D、livinginthecountrysideisbetterthaninthebigcities

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第三段第1句意为“研究者建议国家应为农村提供更多的机会，以吸

引人们留在农村“，B项表达的正是这个意思。
